It sparked a row on Twitter as furious fans lashed out that the panel were “taking sides” with particular celebrities in this year’s line-up.
It comes after Connor Ball broke his silence after being voted off on the show’s semi-final.
The Vamps guitarist Connor and BMX racer Kye Whyte were both voted off, whilst the four judges – Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill, and Christopher Dean – chose to save former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt.
Taking to Instagram, the musician simply posted a picture of himself poking his tongue out at the camera and wrote: “What a time. What an experience. The best people.”
Kye has remained silent so far, but has reshared supportive messages from the many fans that voted for him to make it through to the show’s final next week.
The showpiece event will see Regan Gascoigne, Brendan Cole, and Kimberley battle to take home the trophy.
Connor and Kye’s exits did not go down well with fans on Sunday, who rushed to Twitter to state the decision had been a “fix”.
Alongside an emoji of an angry face, one person penned: “First place should have gone to Regan. Why do they love Kimberly so much?”

Echoing their comments, someone else sarcastically remarked: “Oh my god – what a shock. Kimberly gets first place, but yet Regan’s solo was much more difficult. Favouritism at its best.”
While a third questioned: “Do the judges wanna make it any more obvious that Kimberly is their favourite?”
Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday at 6.30pm on ITV.
